Hello chess(problem) friends! In the last weeks I´ve added some code to the original Chest to get out some more informations for my new ChestUCI 2.7 - here are the new features: 1) additional display of hash usage, nodes and nodes/sec. (Of course these infos are displayed only if the GUI supports this, at least Arena shows all 3 values :-)) Specially the ´hash usage´ could be important for longer calculations to see, if the hash size should be increased for a special mate problem 2) the end of Chest´s mate searching is now shown with a depth of ´D n/n´. (Since in very rare cases the following creation of the solution file could take rather long, you see now immediately, when Chest has finished its calculation) 3) when automatically analysing a complete file of mate puzzles (in the so-called ´bulk mode´), the node counter is replaced by a ´line counter´, i.e. it shows the number of the currently calculated position in the file. (Although I´m sure, that not many of you will ever use this ´bulk mode´ ;-)) 4) the special start-parameter ´/Arena´ has been removed again. (In the new Arena Ver.0.95 the problems of 0.93 have been solved, so this extra parameter is no longer needed) 5) a little improved version (1.1) of my utility ´EPDUtil´ As usual this new version is available again under the following link: http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/Chest/chest.html This will probably be the last version of ChestUCI (at least for a very long time), because this version now supports almost all features and informations of the original Chest, and I have absolutely no idea, what else I could implement (except further improving the solving process of Chest itself, but this is of course the business of the original Chest author Heiner Marxen ... ;-)) Best regards, Franz.
